The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Errors of Youth (Russian: Ошибки юности, Oshibki yunosti) is a Soviet drama film directed in 1978 by Boris Frumin. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival. The "critical realism" is reported to have delayed the release; Frumin left the Soviet Union in 1979 and was in 1988 invited back to complete it. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
